U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions today said that Trump would act on a longstanding campaign promise to repeal DACA.

Sessions said that the Department of Homeland Security would cease issuing DACA permits. Currently registered "dreamers" have until March 2018 before their permits expire.

Trump has said he wants Congress to pass immigration reforms, including those that address youth who entered the country before their 16th birthday.

Syverud said SU would support undocumented students during this uncertain time.

"Despite today's news, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to welcome people from all over the world as members of our campus community," he wrote.

According to Syverud, SU is taking a number of steps to support students affected by changes to DACA, including:

Offering new ways to complete degrees for students denied entry to or deported from the U.S. SU encouraged these students to work with an advisor from his or her individual school to come up with a plan for degree completion. The university is also helping students who chose to transfer to schools outside the U.S.
